Poly-propagators
Lauren Daniels-Judge
Excerpt:
Depending on the season, allow more airflow into poly-propagators by lifting sides of the polythene or plexiglass. In the hottest months, we find that temperatures inside the poly-propagators can reach higher than 35°C (95°F), which is too hot for most propagation material. During hot months, check the humidity and heat levels in the poly-propagator daily and adjust the airflow accordingly. You can roll the polyethylene sides up so that you slowly wean the plants into lower humidity or provide temporary relief from heat.
